List,

I have found The Bat (1.60c), coming from Eudora. It looks good. I
have a lot of e-mail accounts, so some questions:

1) Can I make it so all threads are expanded per default

2) Can I make the editor behave like a normal text editor (it is set on
"stream", "autowrap", with or without "autoformat")? I am not convinced
about the way the Bat editor works. I cannot find any tutorials on how
to use it (the help file is somewhat lacking). Conversely, can I use an
external editor? How?

3) Can I not make "global" filtering? My friends write to me at several
addresses and I would like to filter them all to the same common folder
(inbound and outbound). It's a pain to set the same filters on 5
accounts (times 2 for outgoing messages, too). I know I can copy the
filters via Copy/Paste.

4) I also have some e-mails I want to auto-reply to, _without_ sending
them immediately, just leave them in the outbox for later editing. How
can I do this using a filter? I cannot get the Auto-reply or Reading
confirmation to work. They send immediately. I want the message
"parked".

5) I'd _really_ like a "next/previous unread message in _any_ folder"
keyboard shortcut. I find it very annoying that this cannot be done as
of now (?).

6) Can anybody help me with a Reg Exp? I would like to extract the some
stuff from a received mail posted by a formmail and use that for
replies. I'd like to extract a mail address and put it into the
recipient field. The original mail (the posted form looks like this):
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - and the stuff in that line should go in the
To:-field.

7) Is there a keyboard shortcut for putting the focus on the preview
pane, the message list, the message (TAB goes through all the links on
the message so a lot of TABbing is needed sometimes.

8) Can I make TheBat reply using the account the mail was sent to? In
common folders, my default mailto:-account is used for all replies. This
is highly annoying. (I know I can set the reply in the address book, but
not all senders are there, and setting folder-wise reply can be
cumbersome).

9) My legacy mail from Eudora converts OK, but not the mail I have sent
from Eudora (The content type header is missing) so I get a lot of
<html>-coding due to that. Mailbag Assistant is able to display that
mail properly but when I export as a Unix mailbox, the coding view comes
back. Has anybody had luck with getting the messages sent _from_ Eudora
to exported OK?


TIA, and sorry for the many questions.
